During the war it was standard practice that many would not be released.
-
It went via Hannover and then to Berlin.
-
At the Gestapo more interrogations took place.
-
My sister knew that I was coming to Berlin.
-
She daily went there and asked: “When will you release my brother?”
-
And I affirm: if my sister would not have engaged herself so much,
-
I would not have been released.
-
I was under police supervision for five years – that was in the verdict.
-
Any day they could have taken you again, as you could not leave Germany.
-
A friend, whom I had been illegally working with, got me a job.
-
He was one of the music group members.
-
There were tickets for everything.
-
And when I came out, friends or comrades had collected:
-
butter, one of them must have slaughtered a chicken
-
You were directly helped, so the one who was released had a decent welcome.
-
We could not celebrate his release, but give support like this.
-
A day in Börgermoor
-
We were woken up around 6 a.m., I think.
-
Then everything had to be done fast:
-
make the beds, have a wash, go to the toilet, which was in some sort of shed around the back.
